You know when people try a new food and suddenly it's like, okay, hold on. I got a new favorite food. That's the reaction a lot of people are having when they first try Cupid Mayon. Yeah, it's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it at the grocery store. And this mayo is different. Mm-hmm. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. Cupid only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything. Egg sandwiches, fries, burgers, chefs use it, restaurants use it, people who really care about flavor use it, put it on just about anything. Then you'll understand Cupid, the original Japanese mayonnaise. This is Ashley Akinetti from the Almost Amos Podcast. You ever notice you and your spouse keep saying, we need to get away, but you never actually plan anything. That was us until we did something fun and spontaneous. We went to resort pass.com. There are hundreds of hotel resorts,

pools and spots and private beaches that you can enjoy. You can spend the day at a luxury resort, pool spa massage without booking an overnight stay.

Toyota's easy choice sales event is on. Whether you're looking for the performance of the camera, the versatility of Arab 4, the efficiency of a Corolla, or all electric driving in the BZ. There's a Toyota that's just right for you. And with great deals across the lineup,

now's the time to find yours. But hurry, these deals won't last long. Toyota's easy choice sales event ends soon. We make it easy. Toyota, let's go places. We present Nigel Anthony in the Hornblower story. Adapted from four of the CS Forrester novels by Val Gilgut with Terence Skelton as William Bush. Part two from left-end hornblower sealed orders. While renowned plowed her course westwards across the Atlantic to the west India station, there were two questions, which for her crew and more especially for her officers,

seemed to the passing of each day more urgently to require answering. Following upon the accident to Captain Sawyer, would first have tenant Buckland take it upon himself formally to assume the responsibilities of taking command of the ship. And what was the contents of those sealed orders from the Admiralty among the captain's papers, the orders which defined the objectives of renowned mission once she reached her station. Swathed in a canvas straight jacket, the captain lay in his cabin, unless reduced to insensibility by lord and bleeding, he either screamed or sobbed. A crew that under the tyranny of a mind already deranged had been fast disintegrating could now again be made semen. And for me, the junior lieutenant Buckland's decision was the vital thing. Only with Lieutenant William Bush, did I find it possible to open the problem.

How much longer before Mr. Buckland opens there's orders, Mr. Bush? God knows. If he takes the ship down to Antigua only to find out afterwards that he has to beat it back to Windwood, he'll get his knuckles wrapped finally by my lords. And if he reads secret orders, he's liable to be reprimanded for presumption. What's your reading, Mr. Hornblower? Greatest out as you'd ever measured. I've never been as fast out as this before. Now what's your result? I'm not certain. What's the difficulty? I can shoot the sun, no trouble about that. It's the calculations that bother me. All those damn corrections. Oh well, they're not so hard, sir. Now check against mine. They plot the position with parallel rulers. Now there's the point of interception. Now they can check against dead reckoning. I see. Now we're still being set to solid. We're not far enough east for the Gulf Stream to set us not.

You said you'd never navigated these waters before. That's so. Den Hal? No. I suppose you've been studying. When at any rate there we are. Something to know that much. What do you think number one will do, Mr. Hornblower? He must make up his mind. Now or never. We lose ground to learn every day from now on. What would you do? I'd read the orders, Mr. Bush. I'd rather be in trouble if I hadn't done something. If they're not doing anything. I wonder. Those orders made attaches on independent service. It's a chance in the thousandth of Buckland. I suppose it is. You wish it was yours? I must put these things away. I'm exercising the lower deck guns, crews after hands have had their dinner. I'm the first dog watch out for that. Yes, Mr. Hornblower. Permission to have the deck wash pump, Richter? Men feeling the he's, eh? I don't know about them, but I am, Mr. Roberts.

I have 15 minutes, period of time. Very well. Thank you, sir. Captain of the waste there! Get the wash deck pump, Richter, one. Pull them in for the handles, pull over the hose and come to it. All right, sir. Give away! That's right. That's turning on me. Yes. Turning the aisle. Eh? Help! You sons of sea cooks! Hornblower has some odd fanfare, Mr. Bull. He seems to be enjoying himself, sir. You are rather him than me. That's pumping the air! Captain of the waste secure that pump, get the deck swap. I, I, sir. Back with you in five minutes, Mr. Roberts.

That was right, I was, I hope. What's going on here, Mr. Roberts? Mr. Hornblower wanted a bath, Mr. Buckland. I don't know if it's good for discipline. We'll hope he doesn't get himself a fever, checking the sweat like that. No sign of that, sir. Well, it may clear his head. Perhaps he could clear mine. You're all, sir. I need a clear head at this moment. Send Mr. Hornblower to my cabin when he comes back, Mr. Roberts. And ask the surgeon to join us. This thing's got to be settled. Aye, aye, sir. Mr. Bush, find Mr. Clive and let him know that Mr. Buckland wants him in his cabin. Well, Mr. Clive. He's done it. Red be orders. As far as I know, yes, Mr. Roberts. What do you mean by that?

What was in them? They're secret orders, Mr. Roberts. Even if Mr. Buckland had taken me into his confidence, I couldn't tell you. No need to be pompous about it. What did the captain do? What did he do, Mr. Bush? Poor devil may have been feens from the pit. You should have seen him car away when we went into his cabin. But if thought we were going to cut his throat instead of just finding the key of his desk, that man is suffering the terrors of hell. I suppose you would not be guilty of exaggeration, Mr. Clive. I would not, sir. I repeat, the terrors of hell and all the sorrows of this world. Hmm. And did you find this precious key? We did. Mr. Buckland opened the desk. Well, Mr. Buckland found the orders. The usual linen envelope with the Admiralty seal. So he's now read them and we're none the wiser. Well, God bless my soul. I don't imagine we can expect to know what's in store for us. We've only been at war for nearly ten years.

We just obey orders. Helmily let go and hold grape-shot in the belly or champagne in a captioned flagship. Who cares? We draw our four shillings a day, wet or fine. Well, our wage in a week's pay on a change, of course, when Mr. Buckland's read those orders. Mr. Clive? No takers. Officer of the watch. Here's that. We're altering course two points. Steer southwest. Of course, southwest, Mr. Abbott. So, oh, west it is, sir. My poor hands to the bracers. Another pull on that poor bracelet. Your pardon, Mr. Buckland. Yes, Mr. Robert? Can you tell us how mission now, sir? No, it is still secret. Very good, sir. But I can tell you where we're bound. Sandomingo. Scotsman's Bay.

Sandomingo. Hispaniola. Haiti. Three names for the same island. I am obliged to you, Mr. Bush. Haiti, that's where the Blacks are in rebellion against the Spaniards. That is so, I believe, Mr. Roberts. Yes. You asked me, Captain Soyer's not the only one that's nervous. I didn't ask you, Mr. Clyde. I wonder. Is it of the Blacks? Or is it because Captain Soyer's still alive? I would suggest that as surgeon you go below and attend to him, Mr. Clyde. That is your business. Let us and company up here, Mr. Hombler. She's rolling down the blade. Rolling? She's wallowing. Oh, Lord! Oh, Lord! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!

No! No! No! Mr. Buttman seems to want time to study the lie of the land. He's been studying it through that telescope and his for a good half hour. Why can't he make up his mind? There's nothing to see at this range but the mountains of Sandomingo. How much water does he want to see? We know there's a fort up there flying the Spanish colours. And everyone on shore must know by now that a British ship of the line is priling the boat. The dawn's then have to be clever to guess we're not here on a yachting trip. All we're doing is giving them the time they need to prepare a reception for us. What else could Buttman do? They could have come in with the sea breeze and a couple of darkness to the landing party registry. Put the mishore at dawn. Storm the place before they knew there was any danger. Oh, damn this rolling! Ah! Ah! Ah! Mr. Robert? Sir? Hey, her on the porttac. Fallen by. Aye, sir. Porttac, helmsman. Aye, sir.

Aye, sir. That's better. There's something. Oh, I could wish we were going into action. But running away to think about it. Thanks just to meet fire, Mr. Hondler. Nothing like that, Mr. Bush, sir. Quite the opposite of you must know. I wish for too much too quickly, sir. Now, gentlemen. I know you've been curious about my intentions. I propose to take the ball by the horns tomorrow morning. Satisfied now, Hondler? I trust you're all satisfied, Mr. Bush. Your pardon, sir. We'll round the Samana point and force our way straight up that day. Here, gentlemen. It won't take many broad sides to wipe out any shipping at anchor.

Particularly any privateers, sir. Just so, Mr. Roberts, we'll sink them or burn them. Then we can decide what to do next. Any questions? No trouble with the tide, sir. As I understand, none. What about the south shore of the bay, Mr. Buckland? There is the fort. I have a plan to deal with the situation, Mr. Roberts. Have you anything to ask, Mr. Hondler? No, sir. And then that will be all for the present, gentlemen. The gun crew will be advised to see some action. The stomach still troubling you. No. Not happier at the prospect of action. Not this one, Mr. Bush. There takes per action. All ends to quarters. Fear per action. Bush was in command of the lower gun deck, and of the 1724 pounders on the Starboard bedroom. And to him, I commanded those of the port side. I saw a group of the surgeons crew carrying the straight-jacketed figure of Captain Sawyer to the safety of the cable-tier,

a pitiful wreck of a man, riding and weeping. There were ships' boys with buckets of sand, and the crew's crew were on the side of the port side. I saw a group of the surgeons crew carrying the straight-jacketed figure of buckets of sand to give firm foothold to the gun's crews. A ring of extra fire buckets run the main mast, slow matches, smoldering in tubs for the rekindling of linstocks. A marine with fixed bearded posted at each hatch-way. The gunners and list slippers standing by their take-offs. The powder monkey is scurrying about the deck, each carrying a charge for the guns. The breachings cast off, and the gun crew are standing by. Ten men by every gun on the Starboard side, bush would redistribute them when and if necessary. We don't run the guns out yet, Mr. Humbler. Very good, sir. I'm sorry. Sir? Yes, Mr. Wollot? Mr. Wollot's problem is unpleased to run your guns out.

Thank you, Mr. Wollot. Up, ports. Run out! Aye, aye, sir. Ladies and gentlemen, please. Will you try and range you shot at the batteries when your guns are better, sir? Your orders, Mr. Wollot? No, sir, Mr. Buckland. Then say so. My respect to Mr. Buckland. And it will be some time before my guns are in range. Aye, aye, sir. Yes, Mr. Humbler. If there's a point running out ahead, Mr. Bush. You see the shell is there, sir. The shell must bend round. And if there's a battery out there on the point, you see this move. This is Rick Burgess from the Rick Burgess Show. I want to talk to you for a second about something

That's with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. This is Bowen Yang from Los Cultures. This is Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. You know when people try on new food and suddenly it's like, wait. That's the reaction. A lot of people are having when they first try Cupid Mayo. It's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it in the grocery store before. And if you've ever just walked past it, some people would say that's a huge mistake because this Mayo is different. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. Cupid only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, and almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything. Eggs sandwiches, fries, burgers, some fans even swear by dipping pizza crust in it. And once you notice it, you start seeing it everywhere. Chefs use it, restaurants use it. People who really care about flavor use it. Never try it, grab the bottle with the red cap next time you're out of the store. Put it on just about anything. Then you'll understand. Cupid, the original Japanese mayonnaise. This is Ashley Akinetti from the Almost Amos Podcast. You ever notice you and your spouse keep saying, we need to get away,

but you never actually plan anything. That was us until we did something fun and spontaneous. We went to resortpass.com.

There must be heating for a red hot shot. I dare say. It will be under crossfire. Not for too long, I hope.

That's the fort, sir. No doubt. And here it comes. Their aim's pretty good, Mr. Bush. Too good. I might just reach the battery on this side now, sir. How about you can do? Can't you open fire at this point? This minute, sir. Fire! Oh, just shot, sir. When the guns are hot, they'll reach it. Carry on, then, Mr. Humbler. Open fire, first division! Second division! The red hot shot had begun to strike home on renown. Smoke was curling up from a deep gash in the deck beams by my head.

From above, I could hear the Russian feet and the clank of pumps, which tell me that on the main deck, too, they were fighting fires. Then I realized something strange in the feet of the deck under my feet, a perceptible slope, a queer sense of rigidity and permanence. We had ran a ground smoothly on a mud bank, doomed to be shocked to pieces by the recursive fort, as the battery failed to roast us alive where we lay. Tired still rising, Mr. Humbler. It's now before high water and we're pretty hard to ground. Did you dare? Swap that gun out properly! You want your hands blown off when you reload? A large, high water, you say, Mr. Bush? Yes, God help us. If I can keep that embrace as sweat, sir, I'll slow that rate of fire,

even if I don't silence them. But the fort's still out of range. Yes. Mr. Bush, the impulsion was the buckland. I'm going to ground under fire. Keep your mouth shut, Mr. Wellard. I'll leave you in charge down here, Mr. Humbler. You want me, Mr. Buckland? We have to catch off this confounded sandbank, Mr. Bush. Aye, aye, sir. Get a cable out after a stern fort. Very good, sir. And Roberts, sir. You must take the stream anchor off in the launch. Aye, sir. And shall I take the men from my gun, sir? Do that. Shifting the weight would help. Tell Hornblower to take some of the foremost guns and run them off. There might be an alternative, sir. What? If I fired all my guns at once, it might just break the suction. Worth trying, by God. I have them loaded and ready in three minutes, sir. I'll tell them, the castlin. Thank you, sir. Load and double-shot your guns. Try them, run out. I'll wait in my order. We've got to check. I am sure it's our best chance, Mr. Butler.

No need to explain. We'll try it. It's a pretty pickle, Mr. Bush. Poor Roberts is dead. Roberts. Cutting two buyers shot as he entered the launch. It makes you my number two, Mr. Bush. Settle at the capstone bars there. Praise your feet. Tell Mr. Hornblower to fire his guns when ready, Mr. Bush. Aye, aye, sir. Take the strain. Heave there. Heave. Heave. Heave. Heave. Fire out! Cable's shifting, by God. I think so. Fire! You'll come to the court and act with me, Mr. Hornblower. Aye, aye, sir. No more firing, your further orders. Further orders, sir. So far, so good, Mr. Bush. We're off ground, but we've lost the flood. If we touch again, catching off, maybe impossible. Yes, sir. We could get out with the land, please, sir.

I know that as well as you do, Mr. Hornblower. But do you know what that means? It means defeat. My first command. No, pound is the piece, sir. There's no help for it. Help them heaving on the spring cable, Mr. Bush. Hit the head round to sea. Aye, aye, sir. First heaving on the caps in the air. First heaving on the caps in the air. Cast off, stern cable, Miss Inder. Shall I warp it down the bay, Mr. Buckland? Yes, yes, warp it down. When the tropic night closed down upon the battered renown, Buckland sent for Bush and me. His cabin was like an oven. Its two lanterns seemed to give out an intolerable heat. We sat staring at the chart upon the table, while the sweat turned into a dark blue. The sun was shining, the sun was shining. The sun was shining, the sun was shining, the sun was shining. When the tropic night closed down upon the battered renown, Buckland sent for Bush and me.

His cabin was like an oven. What is the plan behind the table, while the sweat trickled under our uniforms? Question, Elsie. What's to do? Should we bear up for Jamaica? I wouldn't go so far as to advise that, sir. What else can we do, Mr. Bush, tell me that. If we head for Jamaica, sir, we go with our tail between our legs. It's true. All the same, there's Captain Sawyer to be thought of. Captain Sawyer? With a success to our record, there might be a less diligent inquiry into the matter of Captain Sawyer's supersession. If we limp in defeated, I'm likely to be asked why I took upon myself the responsibility of attacking Samana Point. What do you think, Mr. Honder? Agree to. You do, do you? Yes. We did our best, dammit. Anyone could run it round in the channel.

Nothing could get up the bay under such a crossfire. We might still make a landing on the seawed, Siser. A landing and a surprise attack. Mr. Bush? Well, sir. Go on. Mr. Hombler didn't mention to me. He thought a surprise landing might have more chance of success than bombardment of the fortune battery. But that was before the dance knew there was a ship of the line in the neighborhood. Why didn't you suggest this mustily plan to me, who Mr. Hombler? It was hard in my business, Mr. Buckland. That's responsibility for success or failure is mine. Have you changed your mind? I think something might still be tried, sir. As long as it was tried at what? You mean tonight? It would be the best time, sir. The dance of Cena's driven off. Excuse me, sir, but that's how it looked to them. The last they saw of us was beating out of the bay at sunset. They'll be pleased with themselves. But an attack at dawn from another quarter overland that would be the last thing they'd

expect. Might well be. Just how would you make this attack, Mr. Hombler? Well, the winds fare for Scotland's base, sir. We could be there in less than two hours. We could have a landing party told off and prepared by the time we arrived, say, the 100 semen and the Marines. There's a good landing beach there in land that comes to you, maybe Marshy. That's here, sir. Just be there the hills of the peninsula. But we can land on the peninsula side of the marsh. I marked a spot yesterday. You did, did you? Go on. Well, a landing party should reach the crest without difficulty. They can't lose their way with the C01 side and some manor bay on the other. They simply move along the crest and rush the fort at dawn. Now, what was the marsh and the cliffs that don't allow you to keep a poor look at on that side? You make a little sound very easy, Mr. Hombler. With a hundred and eighty men. Enough, I think, sir. What makes you so sure? There were six guns firing at us from the fort. I counted them.

Ninety men at most. Sixty, maybe near the mark. Add an ammunition party and men to heat their furnaces. A hundred and fifty men altogether. And the likely as few as a hundred. Do you think such an attempt might succeed, Mr. Bush? It might, sir, but time is getting on. A secondary pulse would be ruined. Yet once the fort is in our hands, we can deal with the privateers up the bay. They could never use it as an anchorage again. That's true, sir. Damn it, let's try it. Very good, sir. Now, who's the command? It would have been Robert's due, sir. David left. Mr. Bush, you will take command. Yes, sir. Who do you want to take with you? Do you require me, any more, Mr. Buckendip? Not, sir. Do we need Mr. Hormler any more, Mr. Bush? I'd like Mr. Hormler to come with the landing blotters. Very well. It will leave me with only one left ten on the board. Several of the masters made a good watchkeeping officer, sir.

Very well. You look troubled, Mr. Hormler. What is it? I was wondering about the altering course, sir. We could head for Scotland's bay at once and save a little time. We'd better get it before the wind. We'll sit course in a few minutes. Any further suggestions, Mr. Hormler? Only one, sir. We might take with us some grapple knots with lines attached. They might be useful if we have to scale the walks. I agree. Remember to see the ratio. Yes, sir. Will you need a runner? The head would be as well, sir. Anyone particular? A young wellard. He is reasonably cool-headed and thinks quickly. Then all is settled? Yes, sir. And it is in there. Remains to set course and issue the orders. You will see to it, Mr. Bush, if you please. Aye, aye, sir. Well, Mr. Hormler, I've been meaning to ask you, how in your opinion did Captain Sawyer come to fall down the hatchware? Well, I fancy he must have overbalanced, Mr. Buckland.

The ship was lively that night, if you remember. Yes, I suppose she was. Hey, well, then, Mr. Bush, carry on if you please. Good of you to ask for me, Mr. Bush. You deserved it. It was your notion in the first instance. I'm glad you picked young wellard. You need to change from the ship. After what he's had to put up with, from Sawyer. That's true enough. Any more news of the captain? Ask live. All he does is shrug his shoulders and wink and look the other way. But I can't believe Sawyer will last much longer. I'd not be in Buckland shoes. Unless this landing comes off. No, certainly should help him. I don't look forward to the enquiry for all that. No. Well, if you'll have course set for Scotsmas Bay, I'll give the orders for the landing party. You'll not forget the grapnals, Mr. Bush, sir. Do you ever forget anything, homebler?

Where the semana pinn into the began, a small watercourse that worn a wide gully in the cliff at the Easterly End of the Beach. That night sea and surf and a beach seemed to be a fire with the phosphorescence of the water vividly lighting up the orblets as the launches pulled ashore, carrying the landing putted. We landed thigh deep in water, and it seemed thigh deep too in liquid fire. Our weapons and cartridge boxes held high to make sure them are not wetted. Bush was excited and tense. It was all I could do within the bounds of discipline to hold him back from plunging a head at once in violent action. I might have sounded confident enough in Buckland's cabin. It was another matter on that beach in the darkness with the conviction growing that on the success of our enterprise depended not only the lives of myself and Bush and 180 men, but also the reputation of Rename,

and first Lieutenant Buckland's professional future. ... In part two of Lieutenant Hornbler, you heard Nigel Anthony in the title role and as the narrator, with Terence Skelton as William Bush. Mr Buckland was played by David Peart, Mr Roberts, Paul Hertzberg, Wellard the boy, Mark Hudson, and Mr Clive the surgeon, John Jardine. Location recordings were made by Christopher Hayton Webb and David Plemming Williams aboard the IP torso.
